Boycotting Chinese produced goods in an effort to make Chinese workers better off seems a little misguided. The workers at Foxconn evidently find that job better than the next best job, or having no job at all. There's no doubt that working conditions in China can and should improve, and there's nothing wrong with trying to accelerate the process. But taking money out of the country probably isn't the answer. They are transitioning from a developing country to a developed one, and it is a process that will take time. Coercing the entire country (with boycotts) into improving conditions seems unlikely, and just focusing on one factory will only hurt the workers at that one factory.
